May 27, Fineko/abc.az. At the time I studied, we studied the distorted history. The leaders of the Dashnak-Bolshevik gangs who shed the blood of the Azerbaijani people were presented as heroes. I studied history at school and university from these falsified books.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev said during a meeting with Turkish Minister of National Education Zia Seljuk.

Country’s head said that we learned the real story after gaining independence.

"Heroes were presented as enemies and enemies as heroes. When the Soviet Union collapsed (by the way, at that time I was 30 years old, and I completed my education), then I learned what the falsified history was presented to us. So, under the current conditions, we must present both ancient and modern history as it is, and we will work together in this direction," the head of state stressed.
